This June at Stranger Factory: TOY MAKERS OF PLANET EARTH III and LOST & FOUND from Gretchen Lewis

COMING THIS JUNETOY MAKERS OF PLANET EARTH III / Our annual group toy exhibition and LOST & FOUND from Gretchen Lewis June 7th – June 30th, 2019

Opening Reception: Friday, June 7th from 6-8 PM
Stranger Factory is pleased to present TOY MAKERS OF PLANET EARTH III, our annual group show of toys, dolls, and 3D works!

This invitational art exhibition will feature top independent contemporary toy artists, narrative artists inspired by toys, character makers, and independent toy companies from all over the world under one roof at Stranger Factory Gallery.

This show is a collection of new paintings on found vintage objects and ephemera. Exploring themes related to Lewis’ love of collecting objects with history, and the past lives she imagines those items to have had, she is drawn to items that are well-loved and possibly inhabited by friendly ghosts or spirits. Her signature style references endearing nostalgia, most specifically turn-of-the-century children’s book illustration, fairy tales, and folklore.

*ALL STRANGER FACTORY EXHIBITIONS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
SEE YOU THERE
